The successful integration of ELGi compressors at Dencam Composite underscores the value of advanced, reliable air equipment for modern production in Europe. This partnership reflects a commitment to excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement in manufacturing.

"At ELGi, we understand the importance of energy efficiency for our customers. The in-built ELGi VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) matches compressor output with demand by varying the motor speed, which reduces the power consumption in line with the demand reduction. Compared to a compressor without a VFD, an EG Series with variable speed over a ten-year operating period can have a 34 percent reduction in energy costs." - Tord Sandberg, Regional Manager, ELGi Nordics.
